My kerbal Is Stuck

[Durrhur]

When i went into EVA to collect my science, my kerbal got stuck in between a solar panel and the mystery goo experiment. I tried using the EVA pack and exiting to the main menu but it doesnt work.

Welcome to the forum

I guess, the easiest solution would be to edit the savefile.

1) Create a new quicksave and call it 'stuck' (or whatever you want).
2) Open your KSP install folder, go to 'saves', look for the name of  your sanbox/career/science game and look for the 'stuck.sfs' inside. (just to be save, you may want to create a backup of this file)
3) Open the stuck.sfs file in a texteditor, and search for the name of your Kerbal. It should look like this:

		VESSEL
		{
			pid = d9db16a5c10846f4acfbf07fb650556b
			persistentId = 1872530801
			name = Bob Kerman
			[snip]
			lat = 16.193039823235367
			lon = -166.23873257919621
			alt = 1868.8926572128548
			hgt = 3.49451971
			nrm = -0.00551123917,-0.999982536,-0.00219368935
			rot = -0.16307424,0.0079834694,0.766606987,-0.621012807
			CoM = 9.82284546E-05,-10.6451797,0.00035572052

4) Look for the 'alt = xxxxxxx' value and add a few meters to this value. In this example: change alt = 1868 to alt = 1878
5) Save the file and reload the savegame in KSP
6) Your Kerbal should be free now and a few meters above the ship

(You don't even have to close the game for this )

Thanks a lot for helping me. I thought i would have to do a rescue mission.

Without editing the savegame, I think the next solution would be to roll the ship around a little. The kerbal will not move with the ship, and will most likely pop out without destroying anything maybe hopefully.

Looking at how your lander is resting..... that might be inevitable.

My Ship wasn't a probe so i couldn't control it
